Andy Murray Has Returned To Practice, But He Can’t Feel His Legs Now!

I don’t know how Murray, or anyone for that matter, plays at Crandon Park Tennis Center. There are a bunch of trees next to some of the outside courts that are home to some of the most monstrous mosquitoes I’ve ever encountered.

Kimberly, you go there often, right? How do they get rid of the mosquitoes??

Great to see him back on court. That looks like a full on session. A good sign.

I think (hope) he’s just messing around with the “can’t feel my legs”. It’s also a quote from The Usual Suspects, which is one of his favorite movies.

Yup. Nice to see Andy out there again. His role in next year’s season will be interesting to watch. I have no idea what to expect from him. It would be cool if he could make a run in Paris and begin to close in on his career slam.

I think the AO will be too early for him to make an impact on the top guys. I think he’ll find his tennis legs in the hardcourt season after the AO.

I cannot wait to see Andy back playing tennis again,it really cant come soon enough for me,it was amazing to see a home favorite winning Wimbledon,then he sadly got derailed,he also has the game that matches up well and rattles Novak,and hes not a mental midget anymore,or the GS whipping boy,i would love for Andy and Rafa to be on opposite sides of the draw,for a possibity of a potential 1st meeting in a GS final at the AO next year,but for now welcome back Andy.

November 21st, 2013 at 12:39 pm

Agree with SG1 i think a career GS is a possibility for Andy i could see him winning the AO,the only GS i would question for him would be the FO,as hes never done that great on clay.

November 21st, 2013 at 12:45 pm

“hes never done that great on clay”

i wonder why. Hes got all the shots, he has the ability to get through longer rallies. He plays well on slower courts (e.g. miami). I’m no tennis specialist but i don’t see any big reason why he can’t do well on clay. Movement on the dirt perhaps?

Welcome back Andy! I hope his training goes well. There’s an AO title with his name on it…assuming he gets through 7 matches. :-)

RZ maybe we can get Jamie to align the stars for him lol.

November 21st, 2013 at 3:40 pm

Hippy Chic, I just need to go on a vacation where I won’t have access to media during the AO. It worked well for Wimbledon. :-)

@RZ
Another little camping trip is clearly called for….;)

November 22nd, 2013 at 2:07 am

RZ LOL off ya go then :-)),no offence to Novak,but im hoping for either a new champion,or a new old champion,Andy winning his 1st AO,or Rafa his 2nd for a 2nd career GS,i hope both are on oppsite sides of the draw to make it possible for them to meet in the final.

TXHC,

Have to admit that on paper, Andy looks like he has the game to win an FO.

November 22nd, 2013 at 12:32 pm

Hippy Chic and Margot – I’ll try to plan something, though January isn’t the most camping friendly month in the northern hemisphere. :-)

November 22nd, 2013 at 1:31 pm

Train hard Andy. I am looking forward to see you volleying more. You have good serve.

November 22nd, 2013 at 2:54 pm

Hope he comes back with a bigger second serve.

November 22nd, 2013 at 3:03 pm

Crandon is actually my home for USTA league and I have never one been bitten and I. Fact never noticed it. Where and when did you see those Mosquitos.
Normally as you are on key biscayne surrounded by water there are none

November 22nd, 2013 at 5:02 pm

SG1 agree its quite a surprise really,although hopefully that will all change in the future,the irony is IMO that hes actually under less pressure at the FO than at Wimbledon with him been the home favorite and all,although after what happened in the summer hes now got the monkey off his back.

November 22nd, 2013 at 5:25 pm

Agree with Skeezer in that i hope hes been working on that second serve,i actually hes one of the most talented players in the mens game to watch after Federer,his style is very pleasing to the eye,he has alot of variety in his game.

November 22nd, 2013 at 5:28 pm

^Should be i actually think in the 1st sentence of my above post^.

November 22nd, 2013 at 5:34 pm

@RZ
Hope u aren’t trying to make excuses….sacrifices are worth it for Andy…;)

Watched the interview with Andy and Jonathan Ross, was a fabulous interview.

I have my money on Andy winning the AO. I think he wil obviously play down any thoughts of winning the tournament, but after reading about his op and listening to what he said, (that it was not serious), it is a case of him practising as much as possible, and he will.

He will have all the practise partners he wants to play against.

He will do just fine.
